Buying Advice 2008 Kubota B-7610

[crowman]

A friend has a 2008 B-7610 with front end loader, 60 inch belly mower, grader box and blade. On Monday he had his dealer service it with 400 hours.
He wants $12,000 for everything. It's a 2 hour ride so I was wondering if it might be worth making the trip to look at it.
Thanks for any opinions !

I just got $10,000 on a trade in for my 2004 B7510 w/FEL and 375 hours on it. I traded up to a B2920 with FEL. The B7510 is now listed for sale by the dealer at $11,500. It was in pristine condition.

I don't think $12k is bad particularly with the mower and 2 additional attachments. You can go to http://www.tractorhouse.com/list/list.aspx?Manu=KUBOTA&MDLGrp=B7610 and see a few comparable machines. You may be able to bargain with him a bit too so it's worth a look.

I paid 11, 500 for my 2007 B7610 (240 hrs and just serviced) w/ FEL, boxblade, chains and 2007 18' trailer back in 2009.
I paid 11.5k for my M4700 (1,400hrs) in Jan 2013.
I'm amazed at prices now.
